Re: Match Results API for your website

It DOES have AJAX refresh!
It works by loading a cached copy first, then uses AJAX to replace it with an updated version once the server is done scraping it from FIRST. It then refreshes automatically every 60 seconds. If you click the "Refresh" link (which disappears once the AJAX does it's thing) it will force the page to be updated server-side before being sent to the browser.

It doesn't normally scrape before transmitting due to the several-second lag caused by scraping the data from FIRST.

Also, that very obvious notice about our team's first meeting isn't normally there, obviously. That makes it look rather ugly.
